Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003. Love the outdoor life, gardening and sailing especially. View my profile

Self-sown and Wild - IT'S BLOOMING FRIDAY!

This time I have choosen the 'Wild and Self-sown'. In my kitchen garden I have this mix with herbs, veggies and flowers I have found that it is the way they prefer to grow, I get a healthy and colourful kitchengarden.

Violaceae - Pansy - Pensé in Tyra's Ornamental kitchen garden. Yes, I do think that a 'wild' kitchen garden can be ornamental!

This is a favorit, the chives Allium schoenoprasum both for beauty and food, I have read some where that it also can be used as pestcontrol.

Do you know that the flowers both pansies and chives are edible and taste delicious! Sprinkle them on a mixed green sallad, the sallad looks great and taste wonderful.

Dear Tyra ~ you have many of my favorites and are making my mouth water since I'm all about edible flowers. My chive blossom omelet is the best (posted) and pansies adorn many salads (also beautiful candied as well as sweet violets). I can't imagine life without a kitchen garden! My garden is filled with edible flowers ... and as snow surrounds me, I dream of spring. Hugs!
